As someone who has worked in sf tech for 5-6 years I feel like I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve become too critical of the industry to continue working in it.

Pointless article. What apps are they even talking about? The only thing I could remotely think of if they’re talking about buying guns online is some dark net market linked to from a TOR browser app. Honestly if a kid can not only figure o

The opportunity to earn that much is available. When I went to college only a few years ago the best paying jobs in consulting and banking were largely gated by what school you went to. Now students from “non-prestigious” schools or no form

I would put DINKs in the same group, yes (double income no kids). Kids are a very big expense, even for high earners, and actually especially in pricey areas like Silicon Valley because housing near good schools commands an even higher prem

If you make the median tech salary of $300k and live on a fraction of that it doesn’t take that long to save $1m... Point is there’s no magic to becoming a millionaire if you have minimal expenses and single.

Anyone else find the Patreon experience very slow and janky? The entire experience feels like a bootcamp final project and not a company with top engineering talent 5+ years in the making.

Many private equity firms are the real owners of a lot of brands you probably heard of i.e. JAB holdings owns Peet’s coffee, Panera, Pret, Krispy Kreme, Krueger, etc etc

I’ve become super bearish on Netflix. At some point the masses will realize how bad the selection is for the money you pay.

Isn’t it obvious that funding public schools with local property taxes is what has created this messed up system where your zip code has a disproportionate impact on the quality of your education?

I’ve commented on how scammy Amazon is multiple times on here. For whatever reason I feel like there are more people on HN ready to defend Amazon than not and call out those who say it’s become scammy as “overreacting.”

Anyone else feel like tech workers are now bucketed in “just show me the money” and “oh my god what have I enabled” groups?

Media companies can most certainly be massive multi bil companies. There is a reason why telcos are buying up media companies (e.g. ATT buying Time Warner/HBO and Comcast buying NBC) and some of the richest billionaires are media tycoo

I’m saying I don’t believe whatever private valuation they have. Wealth management is a lifestyle biz at best unless you get to Blackrock scale. I believe that is what they are pitching investors to get whatever valuation they have now but

FWIW the only reason I’ve heard about Lambda School is because people I follow either liked, retweeted, or mentioned Lambda School so many times that I could not have heard of it. I don’t know if there’s a name for it, but it’s basically “g

I think you’re overestimating the revenue an asset manager makes with $11b assets under management (AUM). They aren’t a hedge fund (no profit sharing) and take .25% in fees a year. $11b *.25% is only $27.5m. Hardly a unicorn scale business
